Day 42 Update - 24DEC08 Merry Christmas!

I try and write a little letter every year when I send out Christmas Cards but since we have been extremely busy, I decided to put my letter on Joshua's blog. First and foremost, the Gandy Family would like to wish all of our family and friends a Very Merry Christmas. We would also like to thank everyone who has graciously sent us gifts and cards. Christmas is the season of giving and we are truly amazed at the incredible generosity that has been given to us as a family. We will always be grateful for the thoughts and prayers during out time of need.
 
As you can see in our photo, the Gandy's are at home for Christmas. Everyone knows how the end of the year has ended for us but not many know what happened in the beginning of the year. We were very blessed this year to have Lee find his birthmother and his half-brother. They are absolutely wonderful and are now part of the family. We also had the pleasure of being able to spend some time with them and Jarrod and Joshua love their Grandma Linda and Uncle Eric.

We were also blessed with another daughter-in-law in October. Christian "finally" married Jamie (they eloped) and now she is officially part of the family.  Brandon and Roxy are still living in Georgia and we wish everyday that they were closer. They did get to visit with us this year and they are both doing great. 

 
The rest of the story is conveniently laid out in Joshua's Story. Everyone who reads our blog is always in our thoughts and prayers. Prayer is a miraculous gift and we have Joshua today to prove it.

The Gandy Family is blessed in so many ways!
 
We wish all of our friends and family a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year. May you be filled with peace and happiness this Holiday Season!

Love,
Renee and Lee
